Compass Blue

G P & J Baker X Kit Kemp II FabricBP11139.2

Compass Blue presents a rhythmic column of elongated diamonds in cool blue, teal and slate, lifted by small cream and ochre accents. Its softly tactile surface gives the pattern depth without losing the clarity of the geometry.

About this fabric

The design is arranged in closely spaced vertical bands, with alternating diamond motifs that shift between smoky blue, blue-teal, charcoal and warm ochre. Pale cream diamonds provide flashes of light against the deeper blue ground, while the subtle surface texture gently softens the crisp pattern. Made from 82% viscose and 18% linen, the 137 cm-wide fabric has a 58 cm vertical repeat and a 19.5 cm horizontal repeat. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; after care requires professional dry cleaning, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use Compass Blue on a tailored chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its cool blue-teal depth can be balanced with cream upholstery, pale timber and touches of ochre. The repeating vertical layout also suits bedspreads and coordinated loose covers.

Pair its cool blue-teal columns with warm natural woods and ochre accents for a balanced, tailored scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Compass Blue without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
